Been 60 overs, really no point in having a dedicated spinner of Clarke is going to act as your main spinner anyway.

Allan Border said Ganguly was there in 1991 in Australia? I didn't know he was part of the touring squad...

Yeah he definitely was. Remember him playing in a couple of the tour games and not doing a great deal. Was apparently incredibly homesick.

Haven't you heard the famous story of him apparently refusing to carry drinks because "he wasn't raised to be a servant"?
Not sure whether it's fact or fiction but it fits Sourav like a glove.

I thought him OK in the last Test and thought he bowled really well to SachinPersonally, not bowling Cam White at all is a stroke of genius.

It is pretty common knowledge. He played a few ODI's too back in the day. 1996 was his big come back and then we had the master of come backs at it again after Chappellgate.

Haha, I always thought it was apocryphal, but it certainly fits him, and would not be surprised.

In that case not picking White in the XI would have been even bigger stroke of genius, i mean Ponting was going on record as to how impressed he was with White in the first test, blah, blah, blah, but then again in the 2nd test he showed no faith in him by giving the ball to Clarke ahead of him, Clarke is just a man with a golden-arm and he could be handy bowling short spells now and again, but by using him for longish spells on a Day 1 road all Ponting is doing is risking his back.Personally, not bowling Cam White at all is a stroke of genius.

Cameron White looked a kid who got his fav chocolate after his first wicket. He's in.

Nice calling. Mixups are understandable, it's not like these two have played a lot together.

After a few good shots? Doubt it. The Aussies bowled quite poorly to him and the first good ball Lee bowled, he dragged back on.

I wouldn't say that. But the runs really were flowing nicely, and I think this'll bring a lot of the confidence back. The shot that he got out to was inadvisable, but overall, I think he'll be happy he is hitting well.

AWTA, but a lot of times the block is mental, not technical, so I think it's more about just gaining in confidence.
